Paper Shower Mats, A real pain in my rear!

Well I wasn't gonna mention this due to the embarassment, but here goes. On sunday the 8th, I stepped out of the J's shower in Northeast, Maryland and took a very painful fall. The dam n mat moved and down I went. I hit my butt check on the edge of the tile ridge corner. It hurt like hell for about 10 days. I had 2 very dark purple/black bruises, and my drive to Dallas the next day was a rough one.

I'm only posting this to let others know, be carefull! I can't even imagine how em BAREASS ing it woulda been had I broke my tailbone, and had to have been carried out of a shower naked. I will never use one of those paper mats again!

I think those paper mats are a waste of a tree. We usually just ask for a extra towel and use that to stand on. Adsorbs water better and your not standing in a puddle of water like you are usually doing on a paper mat.

Yeowch!

Here's an idea, before going into your shower room, ask the shower attendant person for an extra towel. Put the towel down on the floor to step out of the shower onto. Not only safer than the paper mat but also warmer on the feet! :D

EDIT: Ok, so MentalGiant is faster than I am on posting. LOL

Ditto on the extra towel. It musta been some mental midget who came up with a paper bath mat.

Good reading tho... Over their lifespan, the avg human produces enough mucus to fill Yankee Stadium. And it shows every year, starting in April. :D

I hafta admit, Doug, when I read the title of the thread, it sounded like you were wiping with the mats. NOT a good idea. LOL

That's what I like about the J, the extra towel to use as a mat. Funny thing though. The one time I slipped and fell in a truck stop shower was at the same J. Must be something about the floors in that place.

Or maybe it's a good thing it did see what was coming.Falls are very dangerous as 10 days to recover is a testament.glad your better i still might get it checked out a fall like that can really rattle the calcium cage and adjoining muscles.

And while were talking about bathroom experiences here, please let me say that I find those toilet lid liners to be a pain as well.How many times have I carefully placed the liner on the toilet seat,turn around, and get ready to sit down, only to have the toilet self-flush before i sit down, therefore, sucking the liner down also.After the 4th try, I gave up.There is now a roll of duct tape in my duffel bag for this purpose. And what is with some of these toilets that flush while I am sitting on them? what a way to start a morning, having the cold -water mist on my behind.Technology at it's finest.

Because water conservation technology does not work, it just doesn't, I have not seen to many low water toilets that don't need flushed 2-3 times to get every thing to go down,yea thats saving water. and the problem with the self flushes is they get out of adjustment fairly fast and are flushing 3-4 times a use,which does keep the air a little fresher but really waists water.
